@ TStrump – I need to change my job! I’m going to find work at a brewery!!! (Although I think working at the Ben & Jerry’s factory would be cool too).

I will only drink good beer, not that mass-produced crap. I actually used to work in a microbrewery and gave guided tours so I know the brewing process fairly well. We had great, all natural beers that were brewed according to the Bavarian Purity Act. Prost!TStrump’s last blog post..10 Tax Commandments

@ffb I do miss the Blue Point being in the DC area now. I like the Brooklyn beers as well, and actually had a Cherry Wheat last night while watching the game. Delic

@ Technically Shodan (black belt) means something like first step. It’s just a 1st step to mastery. Think of it this way, I’ve been paying bills and handling my finances for well over a decade now but I can hardly call myself a personal finance guru. I’m still learning. As for the marathon, see my ice cream statement. Trust me, the past year has seen many more pints than miles on my frame!

@ Penelope – I loved music theory. You’d be surprised how much math and logic it involves but at the same time you need to be musical. You know, you can always go back to Tang Soo Do or try to study something else? I think my all time favorite is Cherry Garcia but I love a lot of them!

@ Miranda – Yes, the Haagen Dazs bars are quite evil/good! I think every vacation my wife and I have gone on we’ve managed to find either a Ben and Jerry’s or a Haagen Dazs store!

@ Craig – Blue Point is nice! When my company had it’s x-mas party they had that on tap! Some other good ones are Magic Hat #9, Brooklyn Brewery (all good), and Sam Adams Cherry Wheat (like cherry soda but it’s beer!).

Do you like Blue Point? Every time I got back home to LI I always have to have myself a good pint of Blue Point, I agree, the microbeers are better.

Finally! It's fun to get to know more about you. Ice cream is also my frenemy. Have you tried the ice cream bars from Haagan-Dazs? Dark chocolate around vanilla. Too delicious!Miranda’s last blog post..BerkShares and Detroit Cheers: Local Currencies Attempt to Keep Money in the Community

Wow, a music theory major! That sounds like so much fun, and I’m not being facetious. I love music theory; in fact, some of my classmates and teachers suggested majoring in music theory but that would’ve involved changing schools and that was too humbuggy.

I lived and breathed Tang Soo Do for 3 years, but quit just before my instruction was going to let me skip a level and test for red. I regret it to this day that I didn’t stay and get my black belt. (Complicated reasons involved in quitting.)

Who doesn’t love Ben & Jerry? My favorite is Chunky Munky. Oh wait, Phish Phood. Ah, I love ‘em all!

Thanks for playing.

Since you were tagged by Good Financial Cents that makes me your grand-tagger.Black belts make you a beginner? You are hanging with a tough crowd then. And if that wasn't enough you just HAD to run a marathon too.
